The wine
Description and technical sheet
Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2018 is one of the most iconic and prestigious wines from Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, located in the renowned Bolgheri wine region in Tuscany. This wine represents excellence in Tuscan viticulture, created through a meticulous blend of Bordeaux varieties: primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The hand-selected grapes come from vineyards situated on well-drained soils and are vinified with precision techniques. After controlled temperature fermentation, the wine is aged for about 18 months in French oak barriques, followed by an additional bottle aging period before release.
Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2018: Tasting Notes
Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2018 presents a deep and intense ruby red color, reflecting its complexity and richness. On the nose, the bouquet is extraordinarily complex and enveloping, with notes of ripe black fruits such as blackberry and cassis, interwoven with hints of tobacco, leather, and sweet spices. Floral notes and hints of eucalyptus add further layers to this already rich aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with soft, well-integrated tannins that provide a velvety sensation. Balanced freshness and acidity contribute to a long, persistent finish, characterized by a mineral note that enriches the tasting experience. Excellent with roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses, Ornellaia 2018 offers a sublime and unforgettable tasting experience.
